The event will also be raising money for Aurora New Dawn, a charity that supports female victims of domestic violence, harassment and more. Alongside their curry, guests will also be treated to two lively performances – first from Bollywood dancers, then from the music group Drumnation.

Co-owner Faz Ahmed said: ‘You really can’t go wrong with drums and Bollywood. It’s our way of thanking our local customers for supporting us and the Lord Mayor’s causes.’
